Three Things Thursday - Sanity Edition

1- I should clarify my comment in my last post about so many runners becoming bikers and swimmers. I was talking about the people who are developing a passion for these other sports, not those who do them to cross train. I am all for cross training and have (and use) a bike to prove it. I just can't imagine myself becoming passionate about it like I am about running, but I admire people who tackle all three sports.

2- I did my speedwork on the treadmill yesterday and man did I need that run! It was the first time I have cried during a regular old run. It was just that kind of day. I could go on and on about the things that were bothering me, but what really put me over the edge of sanity is I am starting to think someone took my 4-year-old princess while she was sleeping recently and replaced her with a screeching, squealing little person with a crazy amount of energy and attitude who is smart beyond her years, which is awesome sometimes but was not such a good thing yesterday. I am hoping getting caught up on sleep and getting back to her regular schedule now that we are home from Arizona brings my sweet little girl back, otherwise the treadmill might get worn out.

3- I am going to add P90X into my workout plan starting next week. I am not going to do it every day for the next 90 days because I don't have the time (or more accurately I am not willing to sacrifice the time) it takes to do it every day in addition to my running. Instead, I am going to use it as a cross training tool a few times a week. I am hoping this will force me to be better about strength training and might help me drop those few pesky pounds that keep hanging on no matter how much I run.

RUN: Tonia from Racing With Babes, one of my favorite bloggers, is hosting an awesome Nuu-Muu giveaway. Go check it out!!

I admire people who develop passions for swimming and biking, too. I like to add some swimming and biking as cross-training but I agree that I don't know if I could ever be as passionate about it as I am about running.

I love your comments! They make my day, so be sure to let me know you stopped by. And I always try to respond to your comments, so let me know if you have any questions for me or if there is anything you want to see on here!

I basically had my race report written (in my head) before the St. George Marathon even started. I was that prepared mentally for the race...
